Learn To Play an Instrument or Sing

We are happy to offer private and group lessons for Beginner to Advanced Piano, Guitar, Drums/Percussion, Trombone, Beginner to Advanced Violin, Vocals, Beginning Ukulele, and Bass Guitar. We offer lessons for ages 6 thru Adult. We also offer Music Theory and Composition instruction as well.

Best way to learn music is with one-on-one, private instruction. Each lesson is tailored individually, for the way the student learns best. We take into account age, experience, personality, and learning style. We teach ages 6 – adult! It’s never “too late” to learn how to play music. We offer music lessons for students of all ages and abilities, from beginners to very advanced students.  We offer every style of lessons from classical to jazz and pop. 

Develops Creativity & Imagination Power

Every art form compels you to create with your imagination. The same is the case with music. You develop your ability to think beyond the realities in front of you. Your problem-solving techniques become more innovative and experimental.

Improves Intellect & Memory Power

You need to recognize different lyrics, tones, and sounds. Thus, in the process of learning music, you enhance your reasoning skills, phonetics, and knowledge of the language. Learning all this new information and remembering them naturally sharpens your memory and intellect.

Teaches the Value of Discipline

Increased discipline & persistence is one of the major benefits of music learning, especially for kids. They become more aware of the importance of attending lessons and practicing. It takes time to master the art of music. When you patiently wait to grasp the correct note and tune, it leads to increase in your persistence.

About Justice Marrero

I’ve been playing the guitar for eight years and teaching for another four years. I’m an instructor who is dedicated to nurturing each student’s musical journey. I place a strong emphasis on technical proficiency, with the understanding that mastering the fundamentals is crucial for musical growth. But most importantly, I’m here to share the joys of understanding and playing music. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise by studying jazz, allowing me to offer students a rich and evolving perspective on guitar playing. By integrating advanced concepts from my ongoing jazz studies, I can ensure that lessons are both comprehensive and relevant to contemporary music.

Committed to personalized instruction, I tailor my lessons to meet each student’s individual goals and interests, whether they are new to the instrument or looking to refine their skills. My teaching style and love for music creates a motivating environment where students can thrive and achieve their full potential!

About Jazlyn Dingfelder

I started attending Theatre Young Harris in 2017 – being one of the strongest performance programs in the southeast – and added techniques, principles, and etiquette to my tool belt that has served me well in the professional world. 

Being equally trained in Dance, Theatrical Performance, and Vocal Performance, Young Harris provided optimal opportunities for me to learn through hands-on experience. In my 4 years at Young Harris, I had the privilege of performing in 7 shows. I graduated with my BFA in Musical Theatre in 2021, taking my place in the 75% employment placement rate that Young Harris boasts. On the day of undergrad graduation, itself, I was on a plane across the country to perform in my first professional contract.

I am happy to be a Beginner/Advanced Vocal instructor at KIO along with Dance, and Drama/Theatre.
